-TEWPLE-oF-DIANA*  *THE*IARJEENON* 


The  Grecian  Doric  is  the  oldest  and  simplest  of  the  three  Greek 
orders.  The  column  is  characterized  by  massiveness  of  parts  and  sim¬ 
plicity  of  detail.  The  most  notable  ancient  examples  are  the  Temple  of 
Diana  and  the  Parthenon.

The  Corinthian  Column  with  its  Capital  of  Acanthus  Leaves  is  often 
seen  in  modern  architecture.  The  composite  is  the  same  proportion  through¬ 
out  as  the  Corinthian,  with  the  exception  of  the  Capital  which  is  made 
more  elaborate.

Detail  Of  Tuscan 
Balusters 


The  Romans  adopted  the  Doric  Column  from  the  Greeks,  but 
changed  its  character  and  enriched  it,  sometimes  giving  it  a  base,  and 
adding  various  Tuscan  features. 

The  Tuscan  Column  is  unfluted  and  is  notable  for  its  absence  of 
ornamentation.

)MAN  ION 


The  Grecian  Ionic  Temples  were  characterized  by  rather  slender 
fluted  columns  which  rested  on  molded  circular  bases. 

The  Roman  Ionic  Columns  differ  from  the  Greek  in  the  less  refined 
volute  and  a  base  of  larger  moldings.

-  EGYPTIAN 


Egyptian  Columns  are  of  massive  size,  and  the  Lotifs  and  Papyrus 
are  almost  always  conventionalized  upon  them.  The  Lotus  resembles  our 
waterlily,  and  the  bud  and  leaves  are  used  in  various  forms.  Papyrus  is 
used  architecturally  as  a  fagot  of  tightly-bound  reeds.

There  is  an  ever-increasing  demand  for  drinking  fountains  with  bubblers,  and  the  illustra¬ 
tion  shows  five  practical  and  artistic  designs.  These  are  especially  adaptable  for  use  in  connec¬ 
tion  with  public  monuments,  and  in  cemeteries,  city  parks  and  squares.

Sundials,  Bird  Baths,  and  Pedestals  with  Globes  are  used  extensively 
for  memorials  and  also  for  decorating  the  lawns  and  terraces  of  large  es¬ 
tates.  There  is  a  splendid  opening  for  the  dealer  in  memorials  to  cater 
to  trade  of  this  kind.

Flower  Vases  Numbers  One  and  Two  are  of  the  type  used  on  the 
buttresses  of  mausoleums.  Number  Three  shows  a  flower  vase  memorial 
ornamented  with  laurel  and  reeds.  Numbers  Four  and  Five  are  vases  of 
good  lines  and  proportions  used  for  decorating  purposes.

Polished  Globe  Monuments  are  always  unique  and 
attractive.  They  offer  a  pleasing  note  of  contrast  to  the

A  Beautiful  Example  of  Vase 
with  its  flowers  keeping  fresh  the 
memory  of  the  departed. 


The  Littell  shows  how  the 
family  name  can  be  used  effec¬

Very  much  like  a  large,  swelling  bud  the  lines  of  this  graceful  vase 
expressively  bend  and  curve;  and  in  its  symmetry  and  its  quiet,  easy  plac¬ 
ing,  the  work  has  attained  to  marked  beauty  and  restfulness.

G  RE  ARSON  &  LANE  COMPANY,  INC 


The  contour  of  the  exquisitely  rounded  bowl  of  this  refined  flower 
memorial  leaves  no  doubt  as  to  the  rare  beauty  possible  to  circular  design; 
and  the  carefully  fashioned  and  tastefully  decorated  pedestal  gives  fur¬ 
ther  evidence  of  the  skilled  touch.

Nothing  could  better  illustrate  the  rare  beauty  of  curves  than  the 
Freiz  Memorial.  The  rounded  bases,  Doric  columns,  beautifully  carved 
plinth  and  the  graceful  cap  and  ball  combine  to  give  the  memorial  an  air 
of  indescribable  grace  and  beauty.
